Hey all, so I love my Kingston Cloud Hyper X 2's but theyre starting to decrease in quality. I have the warrently with Best Buy and im still under my two year plan so I can still get 110 dollars towards a new headset. I'm willing to spend up to 150 on a new headset but I'm not sure which to go with. I would like to stick with Kingston because theyve been the best headset brand I've ever owned. Does anyone have any suggestions, Kingston or otherwise?

Here's a list of good headsets for you to consider,

I, personally, have the 15th one in the list in use in my Skylake build (full specs with pics in my sig). But not the original Corsair Void RGB but the improved version of it called Corsair Void Pro RGB USB,

As far as sound quality and comfort goes, i'm very pleased with mine. I especially love the deep base sounds my headset can deliver and the sound adjustment / EQ switch knob on headset itself. For gaming, the best part about Void Pro RGB USB is that it has genuine Dolby Headphone 7.1 surround sound which makes all the sounds more rich compared to the plain stereo, at least to my taste. This is best understood when holding down the volume/EQ switch for a while that disables/enables 7.1 surround on the fly. Oh, Void Pro RGB USB can feel heavy on the head (as said by my wife) but i don't feel it being heavy at all.

Do note that people hear sounds differently and here, i won't suggest which ones to go for.
 
I have the HyperX cloud revolvers (original ones not the S model) and personally I love them-very comfy, amazing sound and the mic is not too bad either;I wouldn't use it for podcasts or anything where mic quality is paramount but still great for online gaming. Only bad thing I can think of is the metal frame-if you do bump it anywhere it kind of reverberates. Other than that they are great!
